This volume provides insight into linguistic pragmatics from the
perspective of linguists who have been influenced by philosophy.
Theory of Mind and perspectives on point of view are presented
along with other topics including: semantics vs. semiotics,Â
clinical pragmatics, explicatures, cancellability of explicatures,
interactive language use, reference, common ground,
presupposition, definiteness, logophoricity and point of view in
connection with pragmatic inference, pragmemes and language games,
pragmatics and artificial languages, the mechanism of the
form/content correlation from a pragmatic point of view,
 amongst other issues relating to language use. Relevance
Theory is introduced as an important framework, allowing readers to
familiarize themselves with technical details and linguistic
terminology. This book follows on from the first volume: both
contain the work of world renowned experts who discuss theories
relevant to pragmatics. Here, the relationship between semantics
and pragmatics is explored: conversational explicatures are a way
to bridge the gap in semantics between underdetermined logical
forms and full propositional content. These volumes are
written in an accessible way and work well both as a stimulus to
further research and as a guide to less experienced researchers and
students who would like to know more about this vast, complex, and
difficult field of inquiry.
